Ah, I dumped it because it was not very neat for an eye, although I can easily make a version with it. It's Ranting Rodent's tiles.

[Z1000000m]

im having one outstanding issue with this mod: it crashes randomly

i embarked on 3x3 + volcano
4 years of crow harrasment (i turned sieges off) and it started to crash (i though it was happening because i lost my exp leader)
couldnt do much, reclaimed, and it was fine

Untill now. Again im getting  crashed. One time it is 1 month after last save, sometimes 4 or more

im suspecting that some broken creature is trying to spawn on my map

solutions?

[Daywalkah]

Do you have something in the errorlog? Did you mod anything in the files?  If not, IIRC, I may have read something like this on the bug tracker.

[Deon]

I've tested all creatures and I don't think that I changed them during version changes. I will try to test them all this weekend. Anyway, there are random crashes in 0.31.03 and I've expierenced them a lot on vanilla DF on some forts, but other forts were stable. It's just not patched yet. But I will check the creatures just in case.

[Z1000000m]

well, the weird thing is that it happens only after the fort is 2 or more years old

are there any modded events taking place after such a period of time?

[Deon]

The short answer is no. The only "moddable events" are megabeasts and I think they work. As I said I'll check it.

The long answer that it may be anything, starting with some creature bug which I can fix and ending with a game behaviour which I cannot fix and we should wait for Toady One to do so... Or we should just generate a different world which works.

I've just had a game crash after a grimeling showed up. Might that be it?

[Deon]

Try to spawn a grimeling on an arena and see. I am pretty sure I didn't touch them and you're trying to find an explanation where there's none .

[Lancensis]

Eh. I came online, kinda grumpy after losing about an hour's work on my fort and read too much into the coincidence of someone else having problems.

Jesus though, what a year. Attacked by a trio of gargoyles within a couple of second of embark, burnt the map down, had another couple of gargoyles crush both hands of a fish cleaner (got to use her teeth now?), lost a Steel dwarf to a landshark, got surprised by some MORE gargoyles, and then went on a gorilla-killing spree because they have the same symbol as gargoyles and it was making me jumpy seeing them there. Then a grimeling shows up and crashes the game!

Well, if I'm lucky, I might've saved prior to losing the dwarf. Sort of a "One Free Savescum" card.

[Deon]

Sorry to hear that .
There're people reporting problems with crashes during succession games so I hope it has to do nothing with the mod.

Then a grimeling shows up and crashes the game!

I've just checked and grimelings work just fine. It was something else.

huh just to let you know, which dwarven castes you get seems connected to where you fortress is, i'm in a savage biome, with an expansive underground base, and mostly ll I have a stone, moss, and aspid dwarves.  Previously I was on a glaciar and all I had were frost dwarves with a few mushroom.  both fortresses are at 25 dwarves so far...

[Deon]

which dwarven castes you get seems connected to where you fortress is

You make yourself to think like that . Castes are connected to population ration only.

a little orc ambush met several incoming traders and all the magic users started slinging fire at each other.
the biome is as dry as it gets.

so, this happened:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(that's basically what all of the forest areas you can see on the minimap look like)

after several minutes, all of my forest was consumed. rain is disabled due to dwarf-melting issues.
and did i mention the two caravans, two ambushes and some of my dorfs not being able to escape the bush fire?


really, i love you.
it has been a while there was that much fun in one of my fortresses.

[Lancensis]

Y'know, the dwarves probably hate the obsidians way more than the gloomers by now.

Personally, I like to throw a little Fear Of God into nature, and other civs from time to time, so I'm a big fan of them.

How come lady shroom-dwarves have such low willpower, Deon?

[Z1000000m]

i noticed that caravans are nerfed alot

which is mostly good, i hate dumping all that elven stuff, but one might think that getting 3 flux stones per year max is a bit too much
